Union Of India And Anr vs P.O. Yadav

The Supreme Court addressed the forfeiture of pensionary benefits under Regulation 15(2) of the Navy (Pension) Regulations, 1964 and Regulation 16(a) of the Army Pension Regulations, establishing that due process must be followed before such forfeiture. The Court held that the High Court's directive to reconsider the cases of the respondents was justified, as the forfeiture orders lacked adequate procedural safeguards. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's orders for reconsideration of pension claims.
